The Historical Jesus and the Mythical Christ - Gerald Massey - Bog

The Historical Jesus and the Mythical Christ is a book written by Gerald Massey that explores the distinction between the historical figure of Jesus and the mythical Christ that has been created around him. Massey argues that the stories and beliefs surrounding Jesus have been heavily influenced by ancient mythologies and that the true historical figure has been obscured by these myths. He delves into the origins of Christianity and its relationship to older religious traditions, examining the similarities and differences between the stories of Jesus and those of other mythical figures. Massey also explores the role of symbolism and allegory in religious storytelling and how these elements have contributed to the creation of the Christ myth. This book offers a thought-provoking and controversial perspective on the origins of Christianity and the nature of religious belief.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Gerald Massey's Lectures, by Gerald Massey.
